Pacific Grove's 23rd annual Holiday Parade of Lights, themed "A Storybook Christmas," brings lighted floats, marching bands, dance teams, and Santa Claus down Lighthouse Avenue in downtown Pacific Grove. It is free to watch and runs rain or shine, and downtown shops often stay open afterward. Downtown Pacific Grove is about five minutes from Cannery Row Inn.
